• Abstract: We consider an interferometer based on the concept of induced coherence, where two photons that originate in different second-order nonlinear crystals can interfere. We derive a complementarity relationship that links the first-order coherence between the two interfering photons with a parameter that quantifies the distinguishing information regarding the nonlinear crystal where they originated. We show that the derived relationship goes beyond the single-photon regime and is valid for any photon-flux rate generated. We report experimental results in the low photon-flux regime that confirm the validity of the derived complementarity relationship.

  We show that engineered loss, using an auxiliary waveguide, allows one to invert the spatial statistics from bunching to antibunching. We study the photon statistics within the loss-emulating channel and observe photon coincidences, which may provide insights into the design of quantum photonic integrated chips.

  Two-photon (second order) intensity correlation is known to be impossible to achieve by any classical means. We present coherence manipulations of attenuated laser light to achieve such a quantum feature using pure coherence optics. To excite the coherence quantum features between paired coherent photons, a selective measurement process plays an essential role.

  Photon indistinguishability is an essential concept to understanding mysterious quantum features from the viewpoint of the wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics. Here, a pure coherence approach is applied for the nonlocal correlation based on the polarization-frequency correlation of Poisson-distributed coherent photon pairs.

  Indistinguishability of successively generated photons from a single quantum emitter is most commonly measured using two-photon interference at a beam splitter. Here we derive a method to extract the photon indistinguishability from cw measurements by considering the relevant correlation functions.

  We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.
